Listen, from now on, you two will curse each other and expose secrets. You’ll use every conceivable way you have and not care about anything else Good.
Well then, go home already. You can remember Yazawa-san or my face, but our faces and our conversation will become fuzzy
Yes, Sensei Yomi did as I ordered and manipulated the two.
Oh, Sensei. This guy’s got a recorder Yomi points at the secretary
Oh, he was trying to record this conversation. Yomi-chan, make him take it out Shou-neechan said.
Okay, please take it out
uu The secretary takes out a pen-shaped recording device.
Okay, this is confiscated. Make him remember that he misplaced it somewhere
Okay, Shou-oneesama
Are there any other recording devices left?
Err seems like it. No, there’s none
Let’s confirm it just in case. They might not know but someone could’ve placed it on them Shou-neechan moves forward and performs a body check on governor Murata and his secretary. Then, she checked their bags too.
Seems like there’s nothing else. This room’s shielded from reception so any wiretap would be useless
Okay, then let’s release them in turns I sent them home.
Goodbye for real this time, Governor Murata. I don’t think we’ll meet ever again
yeah
Okay, you can go home first Yomi opens the door and governor Murata left the room. Then.
Secretary, leave the room in five minutes I said.
By the way, secretary, do you know anything that could end governor Murata’s political life?
i do The secretary replied.
Then, make sure you post that information to the internet
Welcome back! Let’s eat the parfait! Oh, Agnes.
Huh? Were you waiting for us?
Of course!
We just ordered Misuzu-chan’s share too Katsuko-nee said.
Hurry! Hurry! It’s parfait desuno!
Wait, I still have to give my report to Jii-chan I go to Jii-chan and Kaan Kira. The two are making a complicated expression.
Why did you finish them off? Jii-chan asked me.
Yes, if you ask us, we could’ve just let them off alive I.
That’s just impossible with people you can’t reason with. If you don’t kill them off, they’ll surely cause harm I replied honestly.
They’re a hundred times more stupid and childish than Jii-chan and Kira-san think. They’re the type of people who believe that they’re always right and privileged by the people around them and you can’t control them. They’ll let their emotions take control and act irresponsibly
Hmm
It’s not normal for them to stay in that room and demand another conversation even after being beaten so much. If they go home like that, they’ll bear a grudge on the Kouzuki house, who knows what they’ll do. Naturally, they’ll try to slander us with lies and slander. But, we don’t want to deal with each and every one of them, right? Even Kouzuki SS has more important work to do I feel sorry for the people who’ll be in charge of doing all the countermeasures on governor Murata over the internet.
They’re not people that can be reasoned with, like how you’re saying that you’re letting them off, not killing them. At the very least, looking at it from the profit-and-loss view, they have to be able to hold off their emotions and listen to reason. Murata-san can’t do that. That man doesn’t listen to other people, and when his opinion doesn’t go through, he’ll get angry
Is that why you finished him off? Old man Kira asked me.
Yes, they’re the kind of people you need to finish off immediately Then.
I recalled something after hearing your point Jii-chan?
Before the age of discovery, the Venetians controlled the spices imported into Europe. At that time, spices came from Southeast Asia, and so Venice had no choice but to buy spices through the Ottoman merchants, and they were expensive Oh, it’s about pepper and spices.
Spain was able to buy spices directly from Southeast Asia by opening up shipping routes around Africa. That way, they can sell spices to the market cheaper than Venice because they don’t go through the Ottoman merchants. It’s said that the Venetian merchants at that time were prepared to say that we’re going to lose our spice business to Spain in the future, that they reached an economic crisis that would almost bring their country to collapse Spain sells spices cheaper than them since they can buy directly from Southeast Asia. Venice who had no choice but to buy from the Ottoman merchants can’t afford to drop the prices. When all of Europe started buying the cheaper spices from Spain, the expensive spices from Venice won’t sell.
However, Spanish merchants didn’t understand business. They didn’t notice that they could sell more than Venice if they monopolize Huh?
They thought that they’re at a handicap if they sell the products cheaper than Venice. They thought of nothing but the immediate profits So they sold at the same price.
Oh. The cost of the product is cheaper, and so if they sold it at the same price as the Venetians, they’ll make more profit Kaan Kira understood.
Yes. Venice sells spices at a high price, and all of Europe accepts that price. Spain thought that if they could sell it for that much, they don’t need to lower their prices
So in the end, they couldn’t monopolize the market?
Indeed. If the price is the same, then European countries will not care buying from Spain or Venice
They could’ve monopolized the market first, crush their rivals, and then raise their prices
Spain back then lacked that kind of crafty wisdom. As a result, Venice was able to maintain its influence in the spice market. There was no economic crisis that could destroy their country Jii-chan told old man Kira.
Don’t you think we do this a lot?
Kouzuki, what do you mean?
Venice was sustained by trade when they were a country of traders back then. So, as a businessman, common sense would tell them that Spain would try to monopolize the market by selling cheap spices
I see
But, Spain back then was a religious country, and they were poorly informed in business. They didn’t realize how much profit they could make because of their weapon of directly purchasing from Southeast Asia. The Spaniards didn’t notice what was obvious to the Venetian Merchants Jii-chan looked at me.
It’s the difference in thinking, culture, and approach. People tend to think that their thoughts, their culture, are understood by others universally. That if you talk to them, understand them.
People with different reason are hard to understand I said.
If reason doesn’t go through them, then take them out. You’re just wasting time dealing with them
But, that man was the prefectural governor, wasn’t he? Shouldn’t he at least be able to account for his own profit and loss? Old man Kira said, but.
They couldn’t as they showed. After checking and verifying, and it’s still not good, then just eliminate them
Is that why you finished them off?
Yes, before those could turn their malice against the Kouzuki house, I made them poke each other with their malice and destroy themselves Jii-chan.
Yazawa, what do you think? Is that Man someone Kira and I can’t control? Was he that low level of a person? Yazawa-san sighs.
If I may be honest, then I don’t think it’s possible, since he’s just an emotional person with no substance
Hmm Jii-chan nodded.
When you’re someone like Kira and me, you tend to think that everything will go your way. That’s not good
So you accept his actions, Kouzuki? Old man Kira looked at me.
It’s not like I approve of it, but he takes the initiative, picks his personnel.Putting the shrine maiden aside, he even commanded Seki-kun. You’ll have to accept it Jii-chan smiled at me.
The good side of him is that he’ll never assume self-importance, he will make decisions through his eyes and he has the will to carry it through. Moreover, he never looks down from a high place like we do. He always looks at the other party in the same flat height as himself I.
